Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which includes the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Baltic Trading.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 10-K”).  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, performance claims, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Segment reporting

 

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e., spot or time charters.  Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment which is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. 

 

Restricted cash

 

Current and non-current restricted cash includes cash that is restricted pursuant to our credit facilities.  Refer to Note 7 — Debt.  The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Inventories

 

Inventories consists of consumable bunkers and lubricants, which are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, if required.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company opted to break out these inventory assets that were previously classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets into its own financial statement line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to provide a greater level of detail in the face of the financial statements.  Inventories have been increasing as the result of the employment of vessels on spot market voyage charters, which result in higher bunker inventories. This change was made retrospectively for comparability purposes, and there was no effect on the Total current assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Vessels held for sale

 

On June 27, 2018 and August 30, 2018, the Company reached agreements to sell the Genco Explorer and the Genco Cavalier, respectively, and these vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018.  Refer to Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreements.

 

Vessels, net

 

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $16,013 and $16,575, respectively.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $46,933 and $50,173, respectively. 

 

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the estimated scrap value of $310 per lightweight ton (“lwt”) times the weight of the ship noted in lwt.  

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an accrual of $409 and $327, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, spot market voyage charters, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters.  A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement.  Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”).  Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

 

The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided.  Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement.  The Company records spot market-related time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided based on the rate determined based on the BDI for each billing period.  As such, the revenue earned by the Company’s vessels that are on spot market-related time charters is subject to fluctuations of the spot market. 

 

Under pool arrangements, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the pool and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.  Since the members of the pool share in the revenue less voyage expenses generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these vessels is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes revenue from these pool arrangements based on its portion of the net distributions reported by the relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the pool after voyage expenses and pool manager fees.

 

Pursuant to the new revenue recognition guidance as disclosed in Note 12 Voyage Revenue, which was adopted during the first quarter of 2018, revenue for spot market voyage charters is now recognized ratably over the total transit time of each voyage, which commences at the time the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port. 

 

Voyage expense recognition

 

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters.  As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements.  Refer to Note 12 — Voyage Revenue for further discussion of the accounting for fuel expenses for spot market voyage charters as a result of the new revenue recognition guidance adopted during the first quarter of 2018.  There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis, as required.  These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net gain of $1,020 and $269 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,909 and $1,205 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

 

United States Gross Transportation Tax

 

The Company did not qualify for the Section 883 exemption for the year ended December 31, 2017 and believes that it will not qualify for the Section 883 exemption for the year ended December 31, 2018.  In the absence of the exemption, 50% of the Company’s gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the U.S. (but not both beginning and ending in the U.S.) will be subject to a 4% tax without allowance for deductions (the “U.S. gross transportation tax”).  The Company has recorded estimated U.S. gross transportation tax of $186 and $149 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $566 and $246 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  U.S. gross transportation tax has been recorded in Voyage expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation.  

 

Charter hire expenses

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company began chartering-in third-party vessels.  The costs to charter-in these vessels, which primarily include the daily charter hire rate net of commissions, are recorded as Charter hire expenses.

 

Impairment of vessel assets

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $0 and $18,654, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”).  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $56,586 and $21,993, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360.

 

On July 24, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Surprise, a 1998-built Panamax vessel, for $5,300 less a 3.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel as of June 30, 2018, the vessel value for the Genco Surprise was adjusted to its net sales price of $5,141 as of June 30, 2018.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $184 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Refer to Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale.

On February 27, 2018, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s following nine vessels: the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Loire, the Genco Lorraine, the Genco Muse, the Genco Normandy, the Baltic Cougar, the Baltic Jaguar, the Baltic Leopard and the Baltic Panther, at times and on terms to be determined in the future.  Given this decision, and that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel, we adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $56,402 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On August 4, 2017, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s vessels built in 1999, namely the Genco Beauty, the Genco Explorer, the Genco Knight, the Genco Progress and the Genco Vigour, at times and on terms to be determined in the future.  Given this decision, and that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel, we have adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended September 30, 2017.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $18,654 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the Company determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Surprise did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at June 30, 2017 and reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise, a 1998-built Panamax vessel, to its fair market value as of June 30, 2017.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $3,339 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

 

Gain on sale of vessels

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,509 related to the sale of vessels.  The net gain of $1,509 recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Progress and Genco Surprise.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain of $0 and $7,712, respectively, related to the sale of vessels.  The net gain of $7,712 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Wisdom, the Genco Reliance, the Genco Carrier, the Genco Success and the Genco Prosperity.  

 

Loss on debt extinguishment

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0 and $4,533, respectively, related to the loss on the extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). This loss was recognized as a result of the refinancing of the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities with the $460 Million Credit Facility on June 5, 2018 as described in Note 7 Debt.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-03”),” which change the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding, and modifying certain disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within that year.  Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Account” (“ASU 2017-09”).  This ASU provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within that year and early adoption is permitted.  ASU 2017-09 must be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018 and there was no effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”).  This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted.  ASU 2016-18 must be adopted retrospectively.  The Company early adopted ASU 2016-18 during the fourth quarter of 2017. The retrospective application of ASU 2016-18 resulted in restricted cash being reclassified as a component of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):  Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”).  This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018.  The retrospective application of ASU 2016-15 resulted in insurance proceeds for protection and indemnity claims and loss of hire claims to be separately disclosed in the cash flows from operating activities and resulted in insurance proceeds for hull and machinery claims to be separately disclosed in the cash flows from investing activities.  These amounts were previously recorded in the cash flows from operating activities as the change in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  Additionally, as part of ASU 2016-15, any cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs (including third-party costs, premiums paid and other fees paid to lenders) must be classified as cash outflows for financing activities.  Lastly, for any debt instruments that contain interest payable in-kind, any cash payments attributable to the payment of in-kind interest will be classified as cash outflows for operating activities.  There were no cash payments for in-kind interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840 – Leases.  This ASU requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases.  Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense.  Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP.  The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). This ASU requires that equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 during the first quarter of 2018 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company currently does not have any equity investments.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC 606”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (the “modified retrospective transition method”). The Company adopted ASC 606 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all contracts and determined that the only impact was to spot market voyage charter contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a financial impact on the recognition of revenue generated from time charter agreements, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements. Refer to Note 12 Voyage Revenue for further discussion of the financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE  
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

5 - NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The computation of basic net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.  There were no anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share during the three months ended September 30, 2018.  There were 253,438 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units and 255,608 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 because they were anti-dilutive.  There were 331,200 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units and 133,000 stock options excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  (refer to Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation)  The Company’s diluted net earnings (loss) per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the equity warrants issued when the Company emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) and MIP Warrants issued by the Company (refer to Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method.  The equity warrants have a 7-year term which commenced on the day following the Effective Date and are exercisable for one tenth of a share of the Company’s common stock.  There were 0 unvested MIP Warrants and 3,936,761 of equity warrants excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 because they were anti-dilutive.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,  $17,200 and $9,032 of deferred financing costs, respectively, were presented as a direct deduction within the outstanding debt balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs was $871 and $586 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,110 and $1,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  This amortization expense is recorded as a component of Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Effective June 5, 2018, the portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs for the $400 Million Credit Facility and 2014 Term Loan Facilities that was identified as a debt modification, rather than an extinguishment of debt, is being amortized over the life of the $460 Million Credit Facility in accordance with ASC 470-50.

 

$108 Million Credit Facility

 

On August 14, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility (the “$108 Million Credit Facility”) with Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (“CACIB”), as Structurer and Bookrunner, CACIB and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ) as Mandate Lead Arrangers, CACIB as Administrative Agent and as Security Agent, and the other lenders party thereto from time to time.  The Company has used proceeds from the $108 Million Credit Facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the six vessels, including four Capesize Vessels and two Ultramax vessels, which were delivered to the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2018 (refer to Note 4 —  Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions).  These six vessels also serve as collateral under the $108 Million Credit Facility.  The Company drew down a total of $108,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which represents 45% of the appraised value of the six vessels.

 

As of September 30, 2018, there was no availability under the $108 Million Credit Facility.  Total debt repayments of $0 were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 under the $108 Million Credit Facility.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding net debt balance was $106,048 and $0, respectively.

 

The $108 Million Credit Facility provides for the following key terms:

 

·

The final maturity date of the $108 Million Credit Facility is August 14, 2023.

 

·

Borrowings under the $108 Million Credit Facility bear interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50% through September 30, 2019 and LIBOR plus a range of 2.25% to 2.75% thereafter, dependent upon the Company’s ratio of total net indebtedness to the last twelve months EBITDA.

 

·

Scheduled amortization payments under the $108 Million Credit Facility reflect a repayment profile whereby the facility shall have been repaid to nil when the average vessel aged of the collateral vessels reaches 20 years.  Based on this, the required repayments are $1,580 per quarter commencing on December 31, 2018, with a final balloon payment on the maturity date.

 

·

Mandatory prepayments are to be applied to remaining amortization payments pro rata, while voluntary prepayments are to be applied to remaining amortization payments in order of maturity.

 

·

Dividends may be paid subject to customary conditions and a limitation of 50% of consolidated net income for the quarter preceding such dividend payment if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less for such quarter.

 

·

Acquisitions and additional indebtedness are allowed subject to compliance with financial covenants (including a collateral maintenance test) and other customary conditions.

 

·

Key financial covenants are substantially similar to those under the Company’s $460 Million Credit Facility and include:

 

·

minimum liquidity, with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to equal or exceed the greater of $30,000 and 7.5% of total indebtedness;

 

·

minimum working capital, with consolidated current assets (excluding restricted cash) minus consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term indebtedness) to be not less than zero;

 

·

debt to capitalization, with the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization to be not more than 70%; and

 

·

collateral maintenance, with the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 135% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding under the $108 Million Credit Facility.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company believed it was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $108 Million Credit Facility.

   

$460 Million Credit Facility

On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility for an aggregate amount of up to $460,000 (the “$460 Million Credit Facility”) with Nordea Bank AB (publ), New York Branch (“Nordea”), as Administrative Agent and Security Agenty, the various lenders party thereto, and Nordea, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, DVB Bank SE, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, and Danish Ship Finance A/S as Bookrunners and Mandated Lead Arrangers.  Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschäft, and CTBC Bank Co. Ltd. are Co-Arrangers under the $460 Million Credit Facility.  On June 5, 2018, proceeds of $460,000 under the $460 Million Credit Facility were used, together with cash on hand, to refinance all of the Company’s existing credit facilities (the $400 Million Credit Facility, $98 Million Credit Facility and 2014 Term Loan Facilities. as defined below) into one facility, and pay down the debt on seven of the Company’s oldest vessels, which have been identified for sale. 

 

As of September 30, 2018, there was no availability under the $460 Million Credit Facility.  Total debt repayments of $0 were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the $460 Million Credit Facility.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding net debt balance was $444,752 and $0, respectively.

 

The $460 Million Credit Facility provides for the following key terms:

 

·

The final maturity date of the $460 Million Credit Facility is May 31, 2023.

 

·

Borrowings under the $460 Million Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% through December 31, 2018 and LIBOR plus a range of 3.00% and 3.50% thereafter, dependent upon the Company’s ratio of total net indebtedness to the last twelve months EBITDA.  Scheduled amortization payments are $15,000 per quarter commencing on December 31, 2018, with a final payment of $190,000 due on the maturity date.

 

·

Scheduled amortization payments may be recalculated upon the Company’s request based on changes in collateral vessels, prepayments of the loan made as a result of a collateral vessel disposition as part of the Company’s fleet renewal program, or voluntary prepayments, subject in each case to a minimum repayment profile under which the loan will be repaid to nil when the average age of the vessels serving as collateral from time to time reaches 17 years.  Mandatory prepayments are applied to remaining amortization payments pro rata, while voluntary prepayments are applied to remaining amortization payments in order of maturity.

 

·

Acquisitions and additional indebtedness are allowed subject to compliance with financial covenants, a collateral maintenance test, and other customary conditions.

 

·

Dividends may be paid after December 31, 2018 (or potentially earlier if the Company elects to change the date of its first amortization payment due December 31, 2018 to an earlier date) subject to customary conditions and a limitation of 50% of consolidated net income for the quarter preceding such dividend payment if the collateral maintenance test ratio is 200% or less for such quarter.

 

·

Collateral vessels can be sold or disposed of without prepayment of the loan if a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements are included as collateral within 120 days of such sale or disposition.  In addition:

 

·

we must be in compliance with the collateral maintenance test;

 

·

the replacement vessels must become collateral for the loan; and either

 

·

the replacement vessels must have an equal or greater appraised value that the collateral vessels for which they are substituted, or

 

·

ratio of the aggregate appraised value of the collateral vessels (including replacement vessels) to the outstanding loan amount after the collateral disposition (accounting for any prepayments of the loan by the time the replacement vessels become collateral vessels) must equal or exceed the aggregate appraised value of the collateral vessels to the outstanding loan before the collateral disposition.

 

·

Key financial covenants include:

 

·

minimum liquidity, with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to equal or exceed the greater of $30,000 and 7.5% of total indebtedness (no restricted cash is required);

 

·

minimum working capital, with consolidated current assets (excluding restricted cash) minus consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term indebtedness) to be not less than zero;

 

·

debt to capitalization, with the ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization to be not more than 70%; and

 

·

collateral maintenance, with the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 135% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding under the $460 Million Credit Facility.

 

·

Collateral includes the current vessels in the Company’s fleet other than the seven oldest vessels in the fleet which have been identified for sale, collateral vessel earnings and insurance, and time charters in excess of 24 months in respect of the collateral vessels.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company believed it was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $460 Million Credit Facility.

   

$400 Million Credit Facility

On November 10, 2016, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility, the $400 Million Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000 with Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), DVB Bank SE, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschäft, Crédit Industriel et Commercial and BNP Paribas.  On November 15, 2016, the proceeds under the $400 Million Credit Facility were used to refinance six of the Company’s prior credit facilities. The $400 Million Credit Facility was collateralized by 45 of the Company’s vessels and at December 31, 2016, required the Company to sell five remaining unencumbered vessels, which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2017.  Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions.  On November 14, 2016, the Company borrowed the maximum available amount of $400,000. 

 

The $400 Million Credit Facility had a maturity date of November 15, 2021, and the principal borrowed under the facility bore interest at the LIBOR for an interest period of three months plus a margin of 3.75%.  The Company had the option to pay 1.50% of such rate in-kind (“PIK interest”) through December 31, 2018, of which was payable on the maturity date of the facility.  The Company opted to make the PIK interest election through September 29, 2017 and as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, had recorded $0 and $5,341 of PIK interest which was recorded in Long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.  The $400 Million Credit Facility originally had scheduled amortization payments of (i) $100 per quarter through December 31, 2018, (ii) $7,610 per quarter from March 31, 2019 through December 31, 2020, (iii) $18,571 per quarter from March 31, 2021 through September 30, 2021 and (iv) $282,605 upon final maturity on November 15, 2021, which did not include PIK interest.  Pursuant to the credit facility agreement, upon the payment of any excess cash flow to the lenders (see below), the scheduled repayments were adjusted to reflect the reduction of future amortization amounts.   

 

There was no collateral maintenance testing for the $400 Million Credit Facility prior to June 30, 2018.  Thereafter, there was to be required collateral maintenance testing with a gradually increasing threshold calculated as the value of the collateral under the facility as a percentage of the loan outstanding as follows: 105% from June 30, 2018 to December 30, 2018, 115% from December 31, 2018 to December 30, 2020 and 135% thereafter. 

 

The $400 Million Credit Facility required the Company to comply with a number of covenants substantially similar to those in the Company’s other credit facilities, including financial covenants related to debt to total book capitalization, minimum working capital, minimum liquidity, and dividends; collateral maintenance requirements (as described above); and other customary covenants.  The Company was required to maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization of not greater than 0.70 to 1.00 at all times.  Minimum working capital as defined in the $400 Million Credit Facility was not to be less than $0 at all times.  The $400 Million Credit Facility had minimum liquidity requirements at all times for all vessels in its fleet of (i) $250 per vessel to and including December 31, 2018, (ii) $400 per vessel from January 1, 2019 to and including December 31, 2019 and (iii) $700 per vessel from January 1, 2020 and thereafter. The Company was prohibited from paying dividends without lender consent through December 31, 2020.  The Company was able establish non-recourse subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or make investments, but it was restricted from incurring indebtedness or making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries).  Excess cash from the collateralized vessels under the $400 Million Credit Facility was subject to a cash sweep.  The cash flow sweep was 100% of excess cash flow through December 31, 2018, 75% through December 31, 2020 and the lesser of 50% of excess cash flow or an amount that would reflect a 15-year average vessel age repayment profile thereafter; provided no prepayment under the cash sweep was required from the first $10,000 in aggregate of the prepayments otherwise required under the cash sweep.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repaid $0 and $15,428, respectively, for the excess cash flow sweep.

 

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had deposited $0 and $11,180, respectively, that has been reflected as noncurrent restricted cash which represents restricted pledged liquidity amounts pursuant to the $400 Million Credit Facility.

 

Total debt repayments of $0 and $100 were made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total debt repayments of $404,941 (which includes $5,341 of PIK interest) and $300 were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the $400 Million Credit Facility. 

 

On June 5, 2018, the $400 Million Credit Facility was refinanced with the $460 Million Credit Facility; refer to the “$460 Million Credit Facility” section above.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding net debt balance, including PIK interest as defined below, was $0 and $398,609, respectively.

 

$98 Million Credit Facility

 

On November 4, 2015, thirteen of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Facility Agreement, by and among such subsidiaries as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”); Genco Holdings Limited, a direct subsidiary of Genco of which the Borrowers are direct subsidiaries (“Holdco”); certain funds managed or advised by Hayfin Capital Management, Breakwater Capital Ltd, or their nominee, as lenders; and Hayfin Services LLP, as agent and security agent (the “$98 Million Credit Facility”).  The Borrowers borrowed the maximum available amount of $98,271 under the facility on November 10, 2015.

 

Borrowings under the facility were available for working capital purposes.  The facility had a final maturity date of September 30, 2020, and the principal borrowed under the facility bore interest at LIBOR for an interest period of three months plus a margin of 6.125% per annum.  The facility had no fixed amortization payments for the first two years and fixed amortization payments of $2,500 per quarter thereafter.  To the extent the value of the collateral under the facility was 182% or less of the loan amount outstanding, the Borrowers were to prepay the loan from earnings received from operation of the thirteen collateral vessels after deduction of the following amounts:  costs, fees, expenses, interest, and fixed principal repayments under the facility; operating expenses relating to the thirteen vessels; and the Borrowers’ pro rata share of general and administrative expenses based on the number of vessels they owned.

 

The Facility Agreement required the Borrowers and, in certain cases, the Company and Holdco to comply with a number of covenants substantially similar to those in the other credit facilities of Genco and its subsidiaries, including financial covenants related to maximum leverage, minimum consolidated net worth, minimum liquidity, and dividends; collateral maintenance requirements; and other customary covenants. The Company was prohibited from paying dividends under this facility until December 31, 2018. Following December 31, 2018, the amount of dividends the Company could pay was limited based on the amount of the repayment of at least $25,000 of the loan under such facility, as well as the ratio of the value of vessels and certain other collateral pledged under such facility.  The Facility Agreement included usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature.

 

Borrowings under the facility were secured by first priority mortgage on the vessels owned by the Borrowers, namely the Genco Constantine, the Genco Augustus, the Genco London, the Genco Titus, the Genco Tiberius, the Genco Hadrian, the Genco Knight, the Genco Beauty, the Genco Vigour, the Genco Predator, the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Champion, and the Genco Charger, and related collateral.  Pursuant to the Facility Agreement and a separate Guarantee executed by the Company, the Company and Holdco were acting as guarantors of the obligations of the Borrowers and each other under the Facility Agreement and its related documentation.

 

On November 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Amending and Restating Agreement which amended and restated the credit agreements and the guarantee for the $98 Million Credit Facility (the “Restated $98 Million Credit Facility”).  The Restated $98 Million Credit Facility provided for the following: reductions in the minimum liquidity requirements consistent with the $400 Million Credit Facility, except the minimum liquidity amount for the collateral vessels under this facility was $750 per vessel, which was reflected as restricted cash; netting of certain amounts against the measurements of the collateral maintenance covenant, which remained in place with a 140% value to loan threshold; a portion of amounts required to be maintained under the minimum liquidity covenant for this facility may, under certain circumstances, have been used to prepay the facility to maintain compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant; elimination of the original maximum leverage ratio and minimum net worth covenants; and restrictions on incurring indebtedness, making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries) or paying dividends, similar to those provided for in the $400 Million Credit Facility.  The minimum working capital and the total indebtedness to total capitalization were the same as the $400 Million Credit Facility. 

 

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had deposited $0 and $7,234, respectively, that was reflected as current restricted cash.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had deposited $0 and $11,738, respectively, that was reflected as noncurrent restricted cash.  These amounts included certain restricted deposits associated with the Debt Service Account, Capex Account and minimum liquidity amount as defined in the $98 Million Credit Facility.

 

There were no debt repayments during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total debt repayments of $93,939 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the $98 Million Credit Facility. 

 

On June 5, 2018, the $98 Million Credit Facility was refinanced with the $460 Million Credit Facility; refer to the “$460 Million Credit Facility” section above.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding net debt balance under the $98 Million Credit Facility was $0 and $92,569, respectively.

 

2014 Term Loan Facilities

 

On October 8, 2014, Baltic Trading and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited, each entered into a loan agreement and related documentation for a credit facility in a principal amount of up to $16,800 with ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC and its affiliates (the “2014 Term Loan Facilities”) to partially finance the newbuilding Ultramax vessel that each subsidiary acquired, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, respectively.  Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were not allowed to be reborrowed.  The 2014 Term Loan Facilities had a ten-year term, and the facility amount was to be the lowest of 60% of the delivered cost per vessel, $16,800 per vessel, and 60% of the fair market value of each vessel at delivery.  The 2014 Term Loan Facilities were insured by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) in order to cover political and commercial risks for 95% of the outstanding principal plus interest, which was recorded in deferred financing fees.  Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities bore interest at the three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum.  Borrowings were to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount plus a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount at final maturity.  Principal repayments commenced six months after the actual delivery date for each respective vessel.

 

Borrowings under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were secured by liens on the vessels acquired with borrowings under these facilities, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and other related assets. The Company guaranteed the obligations of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities.

 

On November 15, 2016, the Company entered into Supplemental Agreements with lenders under our 2014 Term Loan Facilities which, among other things, amended the Company’s collateral maintenance covenants under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities to provide that such covenants would not be tested through December 30, 2017 and the minimum collateral value to loan ratio was 100% from December 31, 2017, 105% from June 30, 2018, 115% from December 31, 2018 and 135% from December 31, 2019.  These Supplemental Agreements also provided for certain other amendments to the 2014 Term Loan Facilities, which included reductions in the minimum liquidity requirements consistent with the $400 Million Credit Facility and restrictions on incurring indebtedness, making investments (other than through non-recourse subsidiaries) or paying dividends, similar to the $400 Million Credit Facility. Additionally, the minimum working capital required was the same as under the $400 Million Credit Facility.  Lastly, the maximum leverage requirement was equivalent to the debt to total capitalization requirement in the $400 Million Credit Facility.

 

Total debt repayments of $0 and $681 were made during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total debt repayments of $25,544 and $2,062 were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, under the 2014 Term Loan Facilities. 

 

On June 5, 2018, the 2014 Term Loan Facilities were refinanced with the $460 Million Credit Facility; refer to the “$460 Million Credit Facility” section above.  At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding net debt balance was $0 and $24,214, respectively.

ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.  This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

·

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

·

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transactions amongst third parties. Nonrecurring fair value measurements include vessel impairment assessments completed during the interim period and at year-end as determined based on third-party quotes which are based off of various data points, including comparable sales of similar vessels, which are Level 2 inputs.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the vessels assets for ten of the Company’s vessels were written down as part of the impairment recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  As of June 30, 2017, the vessel asset for the Genco Surprise was written down as part of the impairment recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the vessel assets for the five 1999-built vessels were written down as part of the impairment recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Refer to “Impairment of vessel assets” section in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

VOYAGE REVENUE

VOYAGE REVENUE

12 – VOYAGE REVENUE

 

Total voyage revenue includes revenue earned on fixed rate time charters, spot market voyage charters, spot market-related time charters and vessel pools, as well as the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters.  For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company earned $92,263 and $51,161 of voyage revenue, respectively. Included in voyage revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $1 of net profit sharing revenue, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company earned $255,336 and $134,780 of voyage revenue, respectively.  Included in voyage revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company earned $0 and $2,325 of net profit sharing revenue, respectively.

 

On January 1, 2018 the Company adopted the revenue recognition guidance under ASC 606 (refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  The financial results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and will be continued to be reported under previous guidance. 

 

As a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a net increase to the opening retained deficit of $659 for the cumulative impact of adopting the new guidance.  The impact related primarily to the change in accounting for spot market voyage charters.  Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, revenue for spot market voyage charters was recognized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage, which previously commenced the latter of when the vessel departed from its last discharge port and when an agreement was entered into with the charterer, and ended at the time the discharge of cargo was completed at the discharge port.  As a result of the adoption of the new guidance, revenue for spot market voyage charters is now being recognized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage which now begins when the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port.  Additionally, the Company has identified that the contract fulfillment costs of spot market voyage charters consist primarily of the fuel consumption that is incurred by the Company from the latter of the end of the previous vessel employment and the contract date until the arrival at the loading port in addition to any port expenses incurred prior to arrival at the load port, as well as any charter hire expenses for third-party vessels that are chartered-in.  The fuel consumption during this period is capitalized and recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and is amortized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage from arrival at the loading port until the vessel departs from the discharge port and expensed as part of Voyage Expenses.  Refer also to Note 9 Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.

13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York.  The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments were $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term.  Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space.  The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that commenced immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018.  Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025.  For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement.  As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150.  The Company had a long-term lease obligation at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of $3,576 and $2,588, respectively.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $452 during both periods and $1,356 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $557 for the remainder of 2018, $2,230 annually for 2019, 2020,  2021 and 2022, and a total of $6,671 for the remaining term of the lease.

2014 Management Incentive Plan

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). An aggregate of 966,806 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the MIP.  Awards under the MIP took the form of restricted stock grants and three tiers of MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values.  The number of shares of common stock available under the Plan represented approximately 1.8% of the shares of post-emergence Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis. Awards under the MIP were available to eligible employees, non-employee directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Individuals”). Under the MIP, a committee appointed by the Board from time to time (or, in the absence of such a committee, the Board) (in either case, the “Plan Committee”) could grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards, as the Plan Committee deems appropriate, to Eligible Individuals. The MIP Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and contain customary anti-dilution protection in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction. 

 

On August 7, 2014, pursuant to the MIP, certain individuals were granted MIP Warrants whereby each warrant can be converted on a cashless basis for the amount in excess of the respective strike price. The MIP Warrants were issued in three tranches for 238,066,  246,701 and 370,979 shares and have exercise prices of $259.10 (the “$259.10 Warrants”), $287.30 (the “$287.30 Warrants”) and $341.90 (the “$341.90 Warrants”) per whole share, respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the $259.10 Warrants, $6.63 for the $287.30 Warrants and $5.63 for the $341.90 Warrants. The warrant values were based upon a calculation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, cost of capital interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula against the fair value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair value classification. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula used a volatility of 43.91% (representing the six-year volatility of a peer group), a risk-free interest rate of 1.85% and a dividend rate of 0%.  The aggregate fair value of these awards upon emergence from bankruptcy was $54,436. The warrants vested 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants, which is included in General and administrative expenses, as follows:

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, a total of 8,557,461 of warrants were outstanding. 

The nonvested stock awards granted under the MIP vested ratably on each of the three anniversaries of August 7, 2014. As of September 30, 2018, all stock awards granted under the MIP were vested.

 

The total fair value of MIP restricted shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $106, respectively.  The total fair value is calculated as the number of shares vested during the period multiplied by the fair value on the vesting date.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On June 26, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan for awards with respect to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock (the “2015 Plan”).  Under the 2015 Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors, the compensation committee, or another designated committee of the Board of Directors may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards to the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and consultants.  Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted (nonvested) stock, restricted stock units, and unrestricted stock.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company has awarded restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options under the 2015 Plan.

 

On March 23, 2017, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan.  This amendment and restatement increased the number of shares available for awards under the plan from 400,000 to 2,750,000, subject to shareholder approval; set the annual limit for awards to non-employee directors and other individuals as 500,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively; and modified the change in control definition.  The Company’s shareholder’s approved the increase in the number of shares at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 17, 2017.

Stock Options

 

On March 23, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase 133,000 of the Company’s shares of common stock to John C. Wobensmith, Chief Executive Officer and President, with an exercise price of $11.13 per share.  One third of the options become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of October 15, 2016, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company, and all unexercised options expire on the sixth anniversary of the grant date.  The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing formula, resulting in a value of $6.41 per share, or $853 in the aggregate.  The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula are as follows: volatility of 79.80% (representing a blend of the Company’s historical volatility and a peer-based volatility estimate), a risk-free interest rate of 1.68%, a dividend yield of 0%, and expected life of 3.78 years (determined using the simplified method as outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin 14 – Share-Based Payment (“SAB Topic 14”) due to lack of historical exercise data). 

 

On February 27, 2018, the Company issued options to purchase 122,608 of the Company’s shares of common stock to certain individuals with an exercise price of $13.69 per share.  One third of the options become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of February 27, 2018, with accelerated vesting that may occur following a change in control of the Company, and all unexercised options expire on the sixth anniversary of the grant date.  The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing formula, resulting in a value of $7.55 per share, or $926 in the aggregate.  The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula are as follows: volatility of 71.94% (representing a blend of the Company’s historical volatility and a peer-based volatility estimate), a risk-free interest rate of 2.53%, a dividend yield of 0%, and expected life of 4.00 years (determined using the simplified method as outlined in SAB Topic 14 due to lack of historical exercise data).

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2015 Plan to certain members of the Board of Directors and certain executives and employees of the Company, which represent the right to receive a share of common stock, or in the sole discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the value of a share of common stock on the date that the RSU vests.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 118,838 and 118,838 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding in respect of the RSUs, respectively.  Such shares of common stock will only be issued in respect of vested RSUs issued to directors when the director’s service with the Company as a director terminates.  Such shares of common stock will only be issued to executives and employees when their RSUs vest under the terms of their grant agreements and the amended 2015 Plan described above.  On May 17, 2017, 18,234 shares of common stock were issued to Eugene Davis, the former Chairman of the Audit Committee, in respect of vested RSUs following his departure from the Board.

 

The RSUs that have been issued to certain members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the date of the annual shareholders meeting of the Company following the date of the grant.  The RSUs that have been issued to other individuals vest ratably on each of the three anniversaries of the determined vesting date.  The table below summarizes the Company’s unvested RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

15 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In April 2015, six class action complaints were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.  On May 26, 2015, the six actions were consolidated under the caption In Re Baltic Trading Ltd. Stockholder Litigation, Index No. 651241/2015, and a consolidated class action complaint was filed on June 10, 2015 (the “Consolidated Complaint”).  The Consolidated Complaint is purported to be brought by and on behalf of Baltic Trading’s shareholders and alleges that the then-proposed July 2015 merger did not fairly compensate Baltic Trading’s shareholders and undervalued Baltic Trading.  The Consolidated Complaint names as defendants the Company, Baltic Trading, the individual members of Baltic Trading’s board, and the Company’s merger subsidiary. The claims generally allege (i) breaches of fiduciary duties of good faith, due care, disclosure to shareholders, and loyalty, including for failing to maximize shareholder value, and (ii) aiding and abetting those breaches. Among other relief, the complaints seek an injunction against the merger, declaratory judgments that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties, rescission of the merger agreement, and unspecified damages.

On July 9, 2015, plaintiffs in that action moved to enjoin the merger vote, scheduled to take place on July 17, 2015.  The motion to enjoin the vote was denied on July 15, 2015.  Plaintiffs sought an emergency injunction and temporary restraining order from the New York State Appellate Division, First Department the following day, on July 16, 2015.  The Appellate Division denied the request, and the vote, and subsequent merger, proceeded as scheduled on July 17, 2015.  Plaintiffs thereafter withdrew that appeal.

On June 30, 2015, defendants had moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety.  Plaintiffs subsequently served an Amended Consolidated Complaint, and defendants directed their motion to dismiss to that amended complaint.  The motion to dismiss was granted and the Amended Consolidated Complaint was dismissed with prejudice on August 29, 2016.  By a Decision and Order dated April 26, 2018, the New York State Appellate Division, First Department affirmed the dismissal of the amended complaint.  The time for plaintiffs to file a motion for leave to appeal to the New York State Court of Appeals has expired.

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.  The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows besides those noted above.

16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 24, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Muse, a 2001-built Handymax vessel, to a third party.  The sale of the vessel is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2018.  This vessel does not serve as collateral under any of the Company’s credit facilities; therefore the Company will not be required to pay down any indebtedness with the proceeds from the sale. 

 

On October 16, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the Genco Cavalier, a 2007-built Supramax vessel, to a third party for $10,000 less a 2.5% broker commission payable to a third party.  The vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018.  Refer also to Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions.  This vessel served as collateral under the $460 Million Credit Facility; therefore, $4,947 of the net proceeds received from the sale will remain classified as restricted cash for 120 days following the sale date.  That amount can be used towards the financing of a replacement vessel or vessels meeting certain requirements and added as collateral under the facility.  If such a replacement vessel is not added as collateral within such 120 day period, the Company will be required to use the proceeds as a loan prepayment.

 

Based on vessel sales committed to date, the Company expects to record a net gain on the sale of Genco Explorer (see Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions), Genco Muse and Genco Cavalier during the fourth quarter of 2018 of approximately $1.2 million, excluding any expenses incurred as part of the sales.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which includes the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Baltic Trading.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 10-K”).  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, performance claims, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e., spot or time charters.  Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment which is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories consists of consumable bunkers and lubricants, which are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, if required.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company opted to break out these inventory assets that were previously classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets into its own financial statement line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to provide a greater level of detail in the face of the financial statements.  Inventories have been increasing as the result of the employment of vessels on spot market voyage charters, which result in higher bunker inventories. This change was made retrospectively for comparability purposes, and there was no effect on the Total current assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Vessels held for sale

Vessels held for sale

 

On June 27, 2018 and August 30, 2018, the Company reached agreements to sell the Genco Explorer and the Genco Cavalier, respectively, and these vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018.  Refer to Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreements.

Vessels, net

Vessels, net

 

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $16,013 and $16,575, respectively.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $46,933 and $50,173, respectively. 

 

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the estimated scrap value of $310 per lightweight ton (“lwt”) times the weight of the ship noted in lwt.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an accrual of $409 and $327, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, spot market voyage charters, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters.  A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement.  Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”).  Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

 

The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided.  Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement.  The Company records spot market-related time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided based on the rate determined based on the BDI for each billing period.  As such, the revenue earned by the Company’s vessels that are on spot market-related time charters is subject to fluctuations of the spot market. 

 

Under pool arrangements, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the pool and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.  Since the members of the pool share in the revenue less voyage expenses generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these vessels is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes revenue from these pool arrangements based on its portion of the net distributions reported by the relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the pool after voyage expenses and pool manager fees.

 

Pursuant to the new revenue recognition guidance as disclosed in Note 12 Voyage Revenue, which was adopted during the first quarter of 2018, revenue for spot market voyage charters is now recognized ratably over the total transit time of each voyage, which commences at the time the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port.

Voyage expense recognition

Voyage expense recognition

 

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters.  As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements.  Refer to Note 12 — Voyage Revenue for further discussion of the accounting for fuel expenses for spot market voyage charters as a result of the new revenue recognition guidance adopted during the first quarter of 2018.  There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis, as required.  These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net gain of $1,020 and $269 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,909 and $1,205 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

United States Gross Transportation Tax

United States Gross Transportation Tax

 

The Company did not qualify for the Section 883 exemption for the year ended December 31, 2017 and believes that it will not qualify for the Section 883 exemption for the year ended December 31, 2018.  In the absence of the exemption, 50% of the Company’s gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the U.S. (but not both beginning and ending in the U.S.) will be subject to a 4% tax without allowance for deductions (the “U.S. gross transportation tax”).  The Company has recorded estimated U.S. gross transportation tax of $186 and $149 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $566 and $246 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  U.S. gross transportation tax has been recorded in Voyage expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation.

Charter hire expenses

Charter hire expenses

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company began chartering-in third-party vessels.  The costs to charter-in these vessels, which primarily include the daily charter hire rate net of commissions, are recorded as Charter hire expenses.

Impairment of vessel assets

Impairment of vessel assets

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $0 and $18,654, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”).  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $56,586 and $21,993, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360.

 

On July 24, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Surprise, a 1998-built Panamax vessel, for $5,300 less a 3.0% broker commission payable to a third party.  As the anticipated undiscounted cash flows, including the net sales price, did not exceed the net book value of the vessel as of June 30, 2018, the vessel value for the Genco Surprise was adjusted to its net sales price of $5,141 as of June 30, 2018.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $184 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Refer to Note 4 Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale.

On February 27, 2018, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s following nine vessels: the Genco Cavalier, the Genco Loire, the Genco Lorraine, the Genco Muse, the Genco Normandy, the Baltic Cougar, the Baltic Jaguar, the Baltic Leopard and the Baltic Panther, at times and on terms to be determined in the future.  Given this decision, and that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel, we adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $56,402 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On August 4, 2017, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s vessels built in 1999, namely the Genco Beauty, the Genco Explorer, the Genco Knight, the Genco Progress and the Genco Vigour, at times and on terms to be determined in the future.  Given this decision, and that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel, we have adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended September 30, 2017.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $18,654 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, the Company determined that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Genco Surprise did not exceed the carrying value of the vessel at June 30, 2017 and reduced the carrying value of the Genco Surprise, a 1998-built Panamax vessel, to its fair market value as of June 30, 2017.  This resulted in an impairment loss of $3,339 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

 

Gain on sale of vessels

Gain on sale of vessels

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,509 related to the sale of vessels.  The net gain of $1,509 recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Progress and Genco Surprise.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain of $0 and $7,712, respectively, related to the sale of vessels.  The net gain of $7,712 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Wisdom, the Genco Reliance, the Genco Carrier, the Genco Success and the Genco Prosperity.  

Loss on debt extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0 and $4,533, respectively, related to the loss on the extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). This loss was recognized as a result of the refinancing of the $400 Million Credit Facility, the $98 Million Credit Facility and the 2014 Term Loan Facilities with the $460 Million Credit Facility on June 5, 2018 as described in Note 7 Debt.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-03”),” which change the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding, and modifying certain disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within that year.  Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Account” (“ASU 2017-09”).  This ASU provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within that year and early adoption is permitted.  ASU 2017-09 must be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the first quarter of 2018 and there was no effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”).  This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted.  ASU 2016-18 must be adopted retrospectively.  The Company early adopted ASU 2016-18 during the fourth quarter of 2017. The retrospective application of ASU 2016-18 resulted in restricted cash being reclassified as a component of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):  Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”).  This ASU adds or clarifies the guidance in ASC 230 – Statement of Cash Flows regarding the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable if retrospective application would be impracticable.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 during the first quarter of 2018.  The retrospective application of ASU 2016-15 resulted in insurance proceeds for protection and indemnity claims and loss of hire claims to be separately disclosed in the cash flows from operating activities and resulted in insurance proceeds for hull and machinery claims to be separately disclosed in the cash flows from investing activities.  These amounts were previously recorded in the cash flows from operating activities as the change in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  Additionally, as part of ASU 2016-15, any cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs (including third-party costs, premiums paid and other fees paid to lenders) must be classified as cash outflows for financing activities.  Lastly, for any debt instruments that contain interest payable in-kind, any cash payments attributable to the payment of in-kind interest will be classified as cash outflows for operating activities.  There were no cash payments for in-kind interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840 – Leases.  This ASU requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases.  Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense.  Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP.  The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). This ASU requires that equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 during the first quarter of 2018 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company currently does not have any equity investments.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC 606”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (the “modified retrospective transition method”). The Company adopted ASC 606 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all contracts and determined that the only impact was to spot market voyage charter contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a financial impact on the recognition of revenue generated from time charter agreements, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements. Refer to Note 12 Voyage Revenue for further discussion of the financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
